A Study on the Evaluation of Field Application of High-Fluidity Concrete Containing High Volume Fly Ash by Yun-Wang Choi, Man-Seok Park, Byung-Keol Choi, Sung-Rok Oh

“…In the recent concrete industry, high-fluidity concrete is being widely used for the pouring of dense reinforced concrete. Normally, in the case of high-fluidity concrete, it includes high binder contents, so it is necessary to replace part of the cement through admixtures such as fly ash to procure economic feasibility and durability. …”

Effect of Chlorides on Conductivity and Dielectric Constant in Hardened Cement Mortar: NDT for Durability Evaluation by Sunkook Kim, Joowon Kang, Sang-Hyo Lee, Yong Han Ahn

“…Dielectric constant and conductivity, the so-called EM properties (electromagnetic), are widely adopted for NDT (Nondestructive Technique) in order to detect damage or evaluate performance of concrete without damage to existing RC (reinforced concrete). Among deteriorating agents, chloride ion is considered as one of the most critical threats due to rapid penetration and direct effect on steel corrosion. …”
